Do you guys think that cuteness is something objective or subjective? I'd like to hear about stuff regarding this.

I think its a bit of both tbh. Cuteness is a general term, it relates to the size of the organism's eyes relative to the head size, relative to the body size. So I think there are some Pokemon which are just inherently cute. That being said however, there are many Pokemon that certain people find cute and others don't; for example Grimer is a Pokemon I find to be exceedingly cute whereas a lot of people would disagree with this point of view. I think really most Pokemon are either cute or not, but based on how people perceive cuteness every Pokemon will be seen as cute by one person or another. It's just a matter of finding that person! here's looking at you Seismitoad

Heh. Come to think about it, what would be something like TurtwigBuizelZorua be? Would that still be cute?

I think there's something that could be just "cute enough" and be something that is always cute.

Both, in a way. However, I think it is more subjective because even things that I think are super cute and most people agree, I still think that there is at least one person out there who disagrees, thus making it subjective.

Name: Droomph
Cute Pokémon: Cyndaquil and Oshawott
Reasons:Cyndaquil - It's cute! I dunno, it just looks like the quiet type, and frankly being little helps it too. Also I think it's cute because it was giradialkia's profile theme once upon a time.

Oshawott - Hikari knows. I know. You all know.

Spoiler:

If you don't mind me asking, how did you color the Turtwig? I know you used some really complicated method but does it all just boil down to basically using some variant of the paint bucket tool?

It's cute how long did it take you to sketch it and color it?

WHAT DID YOU USE. OMG YOU PROBABLY DON'T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT ME SO I SHOULDN'T EVEN BE ASKING " Sigh I'm bored

Maybe. I don't know...

Personally I think it's subjective. Because every Pokémon is cute in their own regards.

For example Grovyle (or any Pokémon for that matter) is not necessarily known as a "cute" Pokémon. But when it gets frustrated, something about that facial expression just...soooo cute <3

And then there's the episodes where something about Oshawott just doesn't make me feel *squeeee* anymore. But then other times omg it's so cute

Inkscape to draw the vector outlines, exported to a high-resolution PNG image, that is then opened in Paint.NET as a layer, with the colours being on another layer on top of the outline layer, using multiplicative blending to prevent colours from bleeding into the outlines. Yes, a flood fill tool is involved.

Ohhh I see

Okay. I've fixed my application form:

Name: Lozz
Cute Pokémon: Vulpix and Glaceon
Reasons: Vulpix has always been one of my favourites - it's so cute. And with Glaceon, Rednael said it was his favourite eeveelution, so I thought, why not, and went with it! There are so many cute pokemon to chose from, it is very difficult to just pick two!

As for whether cuteness is objective or subjective, I definitely think it is a mixture of both. I think there are some pokemon, like Pikachu and Eevee, that everyone thinks is cute, and some pokemon where cuteness is definitely in the eye of the beholder ha ha. Example - Nica is a big trubbish fan, whereas I really don't see the appeal ha ha ha

Yes!
Spiders terrify me in real life, but they've managed to make Joltik and Spinarak (even Galvantula and Ariados... to an extent. I guess) look very cute. In fact, I find a lot of the Bug Pokemon, whose real-life counterparts would creep me out, really adorable.

Another that comes to mind is Trubbish. As unpopular as it may be, for being a literal pile of rubbish, I find it to be very cute.

Cute Pokémon: Leafeon (Mouse) and Elgyem (Apoc)
Why?: I wanted to be part of a club that didn't focus so much on stats and battling performance. (Although those are important to me, as well)

Welcome to the club! I think I'm with you there when it comes to not caring a single bit about battling and stats. Though, if you're cute and powerful at the same time, oh my.
